In response to the President's Executive Order 13571, Streamlining Service Delivery and Improving Customer Service, the Department surveyed grant recipients representing the Department's largest and most impactful programs. A total of 35 programs participated in the FY 2014 Grantee Satisfaction Survey for the U.S. Department of Education. The survey uses the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) which is the national indicator of customer evaluations of the quality of goods and services and the only uniform benchmarking measure of customer satisfaction across federal agencies and private industry. The ACSI is a weighted average of three questions that measure: overall satisfaction, satisfaction compared to expectations, and satisfaction compared to an ideal organization. Additionally, each participating principal office surveys their stakeholders on the effective use of technology, clarity and organization of documents, staff knowledge, technical assistance, and other areas important to customer satisfaction.
